Best 5 Chicken In A Riesling Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN IN RIESLING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F with rack in middle.
• Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and a rounded 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil with 1 tablespoon butter in a wide 3 1/2- to 5-quart heavy ovenproof pot over medium-high heat until foam subsides, then brown chicken in 2 batches, turning once, about 10 minutes total per batch. Transfer to a plate.
• Meanwhile, wash leeks and pat dry.
• Pour off fat from pot, then cook leeks, shallot, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in remaining 2 tablespoons butter, covered, over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until leeks are pale golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add chicken, skin sides up, with any juices from plate, carrots, and wine and boil until liquid is reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Cover pot and braise chicken in oven until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While chicken braises, peel potatoes, then generously cover with cold water in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan and add 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain in a colander, then return to saucepan. Add parsley and shake to coat.
• Stir crème fraîche into chicken mixture and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, then add potatoes.

CHICKEN WITH RIESLING CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the chickens in a large saucepan or casserole and cover with cold water.
• Pierce the onion with the cloves and place in the pot.

• Discard the onion, remove the chickens from the pan, and set aside, covered, while finishing the dish.
• Bring the broth to a boil over high heat and reduce by about three-quarters. (Make sure you end up with at least 3 cups of reduced broth.) Strain and set aside.
• Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the shallots and onion, and sauté until translucent and softened, about 2 minutes.
• Whisk in the flour to make a roux, add the Riesling and 3 cups of the reduced broth, and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer the sauce until is thickened, stirring occasionally, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add the pearl onions and mushrooms, and sauté until the onions are slightly translucent and the mushrooms are slightly softened.
• Remove the kitchen twine from the chickens and carve them, removing the breast meat, separating the legs and thighs, and reserving the wings for another use.
• Arrange the chicken pieces on a serving platter, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and spoon the pearl onions and mushrooms overtop.
• To finish the sauce, stir the heavy cream into the thickened sauce and season with salt and pepper.

CHICKEN WITH RIESLING AND GRAPES

Steps:

• In a large skillet heat the butter and the oil over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, in the fat brown the chicken on all sides for 8 minutes, or until it is golden, and transfer it with tongs to a plate. Reduce the heat to moderately low and in the fat remaining in the skillet cook the shallot and the garlic for 3 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook the roux, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the Riesling and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the broth, the lemon juice, the thyme, and salt and pepper to taste and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring. Return the chicken to the skillet with any juices that have accumulated on the plate and simmer the mixture, covered, for 15 minutes. Add the grapes and simmer the mixture, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

CHICKEN WITH RIESLING

Steps:

• In a skillet large enough to hold the chicken, heat butter or oil over medium heat for a minute or so.
• Add onions and a large pinch of salt and some pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften completely and begin to melt into a soft mass, about 20 minutes.
• Add 1 1/2 cups of wine and let it bubble away for a minute, then tuck chicken pieces among onions; sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Turn heat to low, and cover pan.
• Cook, turning chicken pieces once or twice, for 40 to 60 minutes, or until chicken is very tender (the meat on the drumsticks will begin to loosen from the bone). If dish appears to be drying out, add remaining wine.
• Serve chicken with crusty bread or white rice or another grain, spooning the onions and their liquid over all.
